The 3rd meeting of 2010 was held on Sunday 6th June at 12noon in Turnberry Gardens.
Present: Committee: W MacNamara, T Hughes, W Millar, W Harrity, S Phelan.
Management Rep: Melanie Walker Aftersales Rep: John Gibson
The Chairman opened the meeting, welcomed members and presented the minutes of the May meeting.
Mr Gibson gave a talk on aspects of his job and the interaction and cooperation he expects between himself and the customer.
Security Member expressed an opinion that the random bag searches operating at the entrance to venues seemed to focus on caravan owners. Concern about the speed of vehicles, especially security vans, led a member to suggest that these vans be numbered and carry a plate stating the maximum speed allowed on the park.
Association Dance A relatively low attendance at last night's dance suggests that better advertising of social events is needed. Also, if there is a theme, such as C&W, the members require reasonable notice. Clarification was requested on the provision for young children at such events, particularly regarding their use of the dance floors.
Maintenance The pond has been cleaned but large quantities of the gunge has been left in the surrounding area. In the beach area, a hole with a dangerous looking spike has become a cause for concern.
Storage Units Some of our members have been given written notice to remove their outside storage boxes within the next month, and failure to do so could result in the Company removing the boxes and storing them at the owners expense. The Committee expressed a view that nothing this extreme is necessary and a meeting with Management has been arranged.
Dogs A worrying number of dogs are still roaming free in many areas of the park. A member wishes reassurance that all owners and renters are made aware of the park rules in this regard.
A.G.M The Committee was returned unopposed.
Memo from the Committee:
Members should be aware that the information sent monthly is not a complete record of what is discussed at our meetings. For example, items involving individual owners or matters of an ongoing or repetitive nature may not be in this report, although they are kept on record.
In view of a couple of recent incidents we must state that verbal abuse of a personal nature being hurled at the Chairman, or any other speaker, will not be tolerated.
